Answer:

(6, -9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Our system of linear equations is:

6x + 2y = 18

-4x - 2y = -6

When we solve by elimination, we're essentially "eliminating" a variable so that we can solve for other more easily. Here, let's eliminate the y variable by adding the two equations together:

6x + 2y = 18

+ -4x - 2y = -6

____________

2x + 0y = 12

x = 12/2 = 6

Plug this back into one of the original equations to find y:

-4x - 2y = -6

-4 * 6 - 2y = -6

-24 - 2y = -6

-2y = 18

y = -9

The solution is (6, -9).

Answer:

(6,-9)

Step-by-step explanation:

6x + 2y = 18

-4x - 2y = -6

2y = -4x + 6

6x - 4x + 6 = 18

2x = 12

x = 6

2y = -4(6) + 6

2y = -18

y = -9

(6,-9)

Answer:

A. $4\sqrt{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying the leg rule which is:

$\frac{Hypotenuse}{leg} = \frac{leg}{part}$

Hypotenuse = 4 + 8 = 12

Leg = x

Part = 8

Plug in the values

$\frac{12}{x} = \frac{x}{8}$

Cross multiply

$x*x = 8*12$

$x^2 = 96$

$\sqrt{x^2} = \sqrt{96}$

$x = \sqrt{16 * 6}$

$x = 4\sqrt{6}$
